SE5a plans from Flying Scale Models magazine July 2007

[Ian Easton]

Looking for a set of plans for Peter Rakes SE5a model of 36" span. They were a free pull out in the July 2007 issue of Flying Scale Models. I know I can download them from other websites but I would rather have in hand the original issued plans,

You could buy the plan from the publishers  Doolittle Media for £19.95   or search Ebay for a copy of the magazine with plan.

I see that Belair do a set of parts for this model and include the plan for £90.    There is a link to download the instructions.

Much cheaper to print the plan from Outerzone and cut the parts yourself.........

Thanks KC. Yes, trying to avoid spending 19.95 never mind 90!

The cheapest way to get a copy of any Outerzone plan is to download to a recent free copy of Adobe Acrobat and print it at 100percent on an A4 printer by 'Tileing' ( also tick the join lines button) and assemble with Selotape.   Half an hour with a scalpel and Selotape and an almost free plan.   I cut down the middle of left joint line leaving half of the line then overlap onto the right joint line, then selotape whilst pinned down.  Simple!

Otherwise download to a memory stick and take to a copy shop.

( the Outerzone one seems a poor copy  for the SE5 design - normally better. But it might print OK -try one section )

 

Frankly I doubt that any of the magazine collectors on the forum will part with the original magazine or original plan, but they might offer you a copy at cost. 

 

I see that Peter Rake also did a 38 inch SE5 for FSM August 2004.   Keep checking EBay for a copy of either magazine?

Following up - I downloaded acrobat and printed the plan out in tile mode from the files I received as mentioned above - worked out perfectly. Thanks for all the help guys. Much appreciated.
